About 3 minutes
Yes, it can be done, but remember to use a big enough pot. If you want one pint of syrup, you have to boil down about 5 gallons of sap. Think about how long your stove would take to boil 5 gallons of water down to one pint, and you've got the idea. Got a big pot? :-)
i bet 10,000 days to boil the earth.
How long it takes water to boil depends on how much heat is being used. Water boils at 100 degrees C
350 minutes
5 minutes
around two minutes
6 minutes
around 5 min
8.30 minutes
it takes me 20 min to boil water and sugar to 300 degrees.
With enough insulation you can in theory boil any amount of water with any amount of energy, given enough time.The key is to supply more energy to the water than it looses.It takes 2260 joules to boil 1 cc of water, joules can be described at watt-seconds.One pint of water is approximately 473 cc, so that will requite 1,068,980 Joules to boil.Given perfect insulation; it would take 17816 seconds / 297 minutes / 5 hours to boil the water with a 60 watt heating element.Assuming that you do not use perfect insulation and given the fact that a peltier element won't give out all 60 watts on the one side, i'd have to say;No you can't boil a pint of water on a 60 watt peltier unit.
it takes approximately 1657594 hours. i counted
